Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse
Poor Wino! The singer has an icky skin condition, her publicist has revealed!
Says her rep: "Amy has been diagnosed with impetigo which she's been told can be highly contagious. Because of that se's been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days."
Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection. It causes red sores that can break open, ooze fluid, and develop a yellow-brown crust. These sores can occur anywhere on the body but most often appear around the mouth and nose.
According to many reports, Wino's back on the drugs. We have a feeling THAT might have something to do with her skin condition as well!

Return Of The Killer Hands
Pregnant and Drugging!
meth causes huge sores and its really easy to spot a serious abuser because of it..
"Impetigo usually affects preschool and school-age children, especially in the summer months….Good hygiene can help prevent impetigo, which often develops when there is a sore or a rash that has been scratched repetitively." Leave it to the 24-yr-old Scum-a-Sutra to develop a condition in the wintertime most often seen amongst 5-year-olds in the summer. WASH YOURSELF, HAG.
it's not about drugs, i had that when i was a kid.
SKANK!
that's what happened to michelle from america's next top model!
Another name for the impetigo is commonly known as "Ringworm" It's cause by a fungus.
I'm confused because impetigo is a childhood disease.. And that looks like a black mass, impetigo looks more like blisters or pimples, it's a form of strep
This looks more like MRSA. It is a drug resistant staph infection. It is very common among IV drug users or people with bad immune systems. It is very common on the face and causes swelling like this. Remember the guy on Project Runway.
YA GATTA WASH THE JIZZ OFF YA FACE EVERY TIME AMY
That is what you get for not taking showers!!!!!!!
She must stinks like crap!!!
I got impetigo from wading in a polluted river when I wa 10- you put cream on it and it goes away- no biggie
Who the fuck is this person??? I've only heard of 1 song, she fucking sucks and is a crackhead. WHO THE FUCK CARES?
OMG poor Amy !!!! She is so so so talented !!! Hope she gets better soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shooters get staph infections.
She is shooting up, or just doing narcotics and picking at her skin……..
impetigo is a nice way of saying STAPH INFECTION and she may have MRSA……….WINO needs to be locked up for 6 months and get clean.
She's so gifted, but, doesn't feel she deserves it for some reason.
Are any of you FAT, or do you smoke CIGARETTES? Then you know the power of addiction, so bugger off! This is a common skin ailment. DUH.
Re: IMPETIGO IS… –
my kid had impetigo before, she got it from the public pool at camp last year, it is nasty, but it doesnt mean your dirty, or hang w/dirty people or things that are dirty. its like when you get a cold, you catch it, you cure it and get rid of it. we all know amy winehouse has meth face just like britbrit's face. shes been sporting the same blemish on the left side of her face near the chin since i can remeber. gross whores, stop picking at your faces. you look like shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! I had impetigo when I was 9! So for fuck sake leave her alone it has nothing to do with the fucking drugs
Ok, can we say Meth?
drugs wreak havoc on the skin. it produces mass amounts of free radicals, that's why alot of addicts scratch and scratch their skin to the point of damage. she needs serious help, lets pray for her!
its probably not even impetico or whatever way u spell it, its probably dirty face infection from her being so strung out, she wont even was the make up off her face. YUK Her publicist probably just said it was this, to hide the fact she's in serious trouble
It is most likely a staf infection, my son had one and it was from an ear infection, he would scratch inside of his ear and break the skin. Most people live with the staf bacteria on their skin it is just when you break the skin that it gets in and yes it is very contageous.
*Blurch* Disgusting. Urgh, I was nearly sick.
P! aren't you and her buddies? Talk to her…. (Que deje de comer tanta mierda!) I want to see her in concert.
amy was in paris on friday night and stayed in the plaza athenee
I dont care what you all say - this wacko winehouse making hell of good music. Talk about that you wankers!
Greetings from Amsterdam!
that's not empetigo, it looks to me like she got her wisdom teeth pulled. those are bruises on her face. the shit you guys try and make up. dorks
I had that. Mine was like a red rash,though.
”IF” she had teeth pulled it was because they were rotted and covered with dried jizz. SHES A FUCKIN PIG ! And any one who would fuck her is just too lazy to jerk off. This pig should be in a zoo, not on a stage making money.
SHIT THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IMPETIGO THAT'S LOOKS LIKE A UGY BRUISE MAKE YOU WONDER WHAT BLAKE DID
I've had impetigo and don't think that's what's wrong with her face. To me, it looks like someone socked her in the face!! Impetigo causes sores, blistering and oozing–it's ugly. Wino's face looks like she took a "Big Hit"–there's discoloration and swelling.
impetigo typically has nothing to do with drugs, so i wouldn't take her having this as a sign that she is doing them again. staphylococcus bacteria live on the skin in a benign form on 80% of all people. and the forms which cause skin infections (of which there are many) are typically caught through average contact with other people, or with objects touched by those people–usually in places like schools, gyms, or medical facilities. the fact that she has this does not make her a "dirty" person–it is really quite common and easily treatable.
Use Naturasil to cure the Impetigo www.naturasil.com
First off, Why on earth would you go in public with that horrible skin infection on your face!? but then again…she does leave her house with nasty black eye liner up to her forehead and bee hive hair thats so drenched with aqua net a hurricane couldnt move it…. so all this does not surprise me.
Why hasn't this skank fucking O-D'ed already so I can stop hearing about here.
Faaaaccck.
HAHA ew thats super gross. my bf got empetaigo from wrestling. and then the whole team got it…nasty!
although this condition may not be sited as drug related, most street drugs and other can really destroy the body's normal mechanisms and lead to all sorts of malfunctioning of various cells. we know that impetego is not directly caused by the drug use, however the weakened immune system that is a result is the underlying factor. you or i could come in contact with the same virulent factor as amy has and not a single sign could manifest. because our armor is intact, and hers is most definitely not.
Impetigo is gross, if she would just wash her hands and face and stop putting her hands where they don't belongs then touching her face without washing them, then she would get impetigo.
SPEED BUMPS!!! CRACK HAS A TENDENCY TO CAUSE IMPETIGO ITS TREATABLE
CRACK IS WHACK!!!
ewwww, impetigo is what you get when you have open wounds and you get dirt in them. Most likely she hasn't been washing herself or her wounds properly.
eurghhhh id like her sooo much more if she wasnt such a dirty baghead!!!
looks like karposi's sarcoma to me…. which is one of the opportunistic disease that goes with full blown aids
